Text Appearing Before Image:
Idols of brown sandstone (5^ inches liigli). Such idols were undoubtedly connected with the religious rites of the Arawak. Various animals also were used as idols, the snake on the island of Haiti, the parrot on Jamaica and the monkey on the more southern islands
Text Appearing After Image:
The most interesting objects in the Longley collection, from the anthropological point of view, are cylindrical stone pendants. Pendants identical with the large one at the left and the one shown on the following page are worn to-day as insignia of office by chiefs or headmen of tribes across the entire length of northern South America. The hole in the pendant at the right is so small that one wonders how the Arawak could have drilled it without the use of metal tools. The white stone (11 inches long) in the middle has not only a hole through the upper end but also a hole drilled at right angles to it length- wise from one end of the pendant to the other. In the same class with the stone pendants are shell ornaments with holes drilled through them, which the Arawak also wore suspended around the neck 300
